thank you very much for this HowTo....exactly what I was looking for.
Edit: this still does exactly what I wanted but it has one slight bug with network shared folders after mounting.
The bug is fairly easy to solve though so not to worry.
I originally manually mounted these drives and then shared some folders through Samba. This worked just fine and even after unmounting and remounting the shared folders continue to work just fine over the network. However, once I installed ntfs-config the folders were no longer seen over the network as permissions/ownership had been altered. So here is what I did to fix that.
1. Press Alt+F2 (run dialog) or open a terminal
2. Run the following:
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
3. Enter your root password. gedit will need root access to edit this file.
4. Add the below line to the [global] section of Global Settings.
Code:
usershare owner only = false
3. Save and exit.
Hope this helps anyone else who runs into this issue.
